This former ground-floor commercial unit offers a substantial footprint (approximately 142m² / 1,530 sq ft) with flexible options for redevelopment. The space is being sold freehold with vacant possession of the ground-floor element, and benefits from two front doors, rear access and parking for up to four cars — useful for conversion to residential or live/work use.
Suiting developers or buy-to-let investors, the building has scope to be converted into two flats (one two-bed and one one-bed) subject to necessary consents. Services are in place including mains water, drainage, electricity and gas; the property already has UPVC double glazing in part and provision for two independent utility supplies, reducing initial setup complexity.
The site does require renovation to create modern flats — the interior is a work-in-progress with exposed walls and industrial finishes. The location is in a deprived part of town with above-average crime, which will affect rental levels and buyer demand; purchasers should plan budgets and rental assumptions accordingly. Note that part of the property (first floor and above) is held long-lease by a third party (969 years remaining), and the ground-floor freehold being offered excludes that upper leasehold interest.
